It may not be pretty.....

but it was fun!! We tried our hand at making a gingerbread house today. Hehe. Where did we go wrong? Maybe it was because Dave just cut out some shapes and they really didn't fit together, or because I didn't add the egg whites in the frosting. Could be because Em was a little zealous in her decorating. Ah who cares, it was SO MUCH FUN! Its all about the process right! Not shown is our cute little gingerbread family. There were the four of us (Dave, me, Em, and Al) Howie, a horse for Emma and a jolly snowman. You have to admit our house has character huh! It is now the centerpiece of our table. I am so proud of it!

Look closely. Dave has flour all over his face. Hehe, he had no idea!

Emma had a blast decorating the house. She took her job so seriously though and became pretty distraught when we would have a cave-in. I love the expression on her face, her utter concentration. She gets that look whenever she is working on a project.

Now you know why we had bite marks in our final version!

and here is sweet Emma....following her daddy's example. Yum. You would be surprised what Emma will do when copying Dave. Some pretty unlady like noises if you know what I mean.

Our little Santa slept through the craziness. Isn't she sweet. Check out her little Santa Baby shirt. Courtesy of Uncle B and Aunt Jess. Adorable huh.
